Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Milk
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 large Egg
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 24-count mini muffin pan or line it with mini paper liners.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and egg. Whisk until fully blended.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon together to create the cinnamon swirl mixture.

Step 6

Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the batter into each mini muffin cup, filling it about halfway. Sprinkle a pinch of the cinnamon sugar mixture on top of the batter.

Step 7

Add another small spoonful of batter to cover the cinnamon mix partially, filling each cup to about 3/4 full. Top with a final pinch of the cinnamon sugar mixture for a swirl effect.

Step 8

Using a toothpick, gently swirl the cinnamon sugar into the batter in each muffin cup by making small circular motions.

Step 9

Bake the mini muffins in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
